Hi all, I'm (again) reaching out to you for your assistance and expertise.

I'm making a quilt for my mother using the panel shown below. It's "At the Museum" featuring paintings by impressionist artists. Each painting was fussy cut and then bordered with strips of fabric that mimic picture frames. But I'm stumped with how to handle the blank area in the center of the quilt. Initially, I'd thought that a French symbol might work but then realized that not all of the artists were French. My plan is to embroider something.

My thought is some sort of motif or medallion but I'm uncertain what would be appropriate for the period.

I'd very much appreciate your suggestions.

Thanks in advance,
Cathy
